PLEASE DO NOT RATE THIS ANSWER! This question was inspired by an event I saw on C-SPAN. It was a discussion with some of the contributors to a book called "Why I turned Right" http://www.amazon.com/Why-Turned-Right-Conservatives-Chronicle/dp/1416528555/ A recurring theme was that each speaker had a rude/obnoxious encounter with a wild-eyed left-wing academic who was arrogant and condescending. To me, it seemed narrow-minded to dismiss a branch of political thought just because one advocate of it was a twit. Which led me to wonder about just what sorts of events/encounters shape other peoples' views. Thanks for all your answers. O.S.

2 Tim 3:1-5 describes “critical times, hard to deal with” and I have definitely seen things go from bad to worse during my lifetime. I feel that the onslaught of school shootings and the mistreatment of helpless children is what has me convinced that mankind’s moral standards have shifted drastically.

When any representative spends more time putting down their opponent or the opposing party/s they have lost my respect., When a representative discounts the views of their constituents by marginalizing certain positions, they have lost my respect. When they are so isolated from the needs of those with a most modest income, catering to big donors and special interests they have lost my respect. It seems that all parties have lost their way while chasing the carrot. Therefore I prefer true independents that are not beholden to cookie cutter party platforms.
